This is a rare blue pearl from "Umigaru" (Sea Firefly), with a deep blue color visible from every angle. It has a beautiful pink overtone.
Its plump form makes it enjoyable to combine with various parts.
*What is Umigaru?
These are natural blue baroque Akoya pearls cultivated by one of Japan's leading farmers, with 120 years of history, in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Only pearls with a mysterious blue, as if reflecting the sea of Tsushima, are given the name "Umigaru" and certified as a single pearl brand.
Natural blue Akoya pearls are created when organic components of the shell enter the nacre layer, producing beautiful interference colors. Since this color is accidental, it is rare and very valuable to have the blue color beautifully covering the entire pearl.
While natural blue Akoya pearls are considered prone to color change, "Umigaru" pearls have a thick nacre layer and deep color, and undergo a preservation process under strict management to prevent color changes.
